From a 440ml can on 17/12/2018 (ABV listed as 8%, described as 'New England' rather than 'Phresh' IPA). Pours a slightly hazy goldl\en with a medium head. The nose is light and tropical with a hint of fridge. Tastes pleasant and refreshing, though quite strong with the 8% not entirely surprising. There's lots of apricot, peach, mango and passionfruit, with a fairly firm, relatively tart bitterness. Has a slick texture and long finish. A very enjoyable big NEIPA.

Bottle shared at CBC CG - London. Courtesy of Daveo. Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. So so overall, moderate roast, dry cocoa, scorched earth. Full bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Warming finish, more bittersweet cocoa. Drinks pretty good.

(Can) Pours Slightly hazy golden with big thick white head. Nice fruity aroma - pineapple and pine. Soft smooth palate. Taste has hops from start to finish. They are pretty dominant but do not overwhelm. There’s some tangy fruitiness at the start, some sweetness in the mid palate and quite a long moderately bitter finish. Unusual and pleasant beer.

Bottle split at CBC Covborn, thanks to the Wingman, 10/10/18. Pitch black with a decent looking dirty tan head. Nose is chocolate, dried fruits, molasses, brown bread. Taste comprises mellow roast, cocoa powder, toffee, fruit loaf, brown sugar, light spice. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, drying close with a light boost. Passable sipper but lacking depth and complexity for the style/ABV!

Apparently not retired! On tap at Basement Brewhouse, Bankstown. Black beer with thin head. Nose is amazing! Caramel, coconut, toast, malt, chocolate, alcohol notes. Starts light, fizzy, and fruity, ends with lingering coconut chocolate malt. Nice.

This is a great looking beer with its pinky orange hue. It has loads of passionfruit plus some lemon and apple. I have no idea what dragonfruit tastes like, but this has all the sour fruits! The apple and lemon flavours dominate the taste, along with some passionfruit. It's a very sour sour but gets more enjoyable as I work my way through the 440ml can.
